Trailer hitches, properly called receiver hitches, are all the rage in our truck-obsessed society. When 50% of the new vehicle purchases in the USA today are some kind of pickup truck, SUV, or minivan, the addition of a hitch at the rear of the vehicle makes perfect sense. Depending on the vehicle, a properly installed and rated rear hitch can pull up to 18,000...

There are four major types of trailer hitches, regardless of whether they are installed at the factory or added on afterward. A hitch may simply have a bar sticking out past the bumper with a ball mounted to it. Or there may be a square receiver that takes a ball mount that slides into it. In all cases, there are different weight ratings.

When you’re setting up your trailer with a new tow vehicle, several things need to be considered: the ball mount and ball must be rated to take the weight, and the ball has to be at the right height. Once you have determined the proper weight class, choose a ball mount of a high enough class for your trailer, and set up your ball mount and ball for proper towing....

I ordered this hitch for my 2013 VW TDI Jetta. The endless torque on these little cars has my brain reeling with possibilities of what I can tow! The order came as I expected. Not super fast, but not taking forever. The normal 5 days. The box was pretty beat up, but I wasn't worried since the parts are all decent thickness steel. The powder coat was just fine as well. As for installation, the instructions provided are vague and of no use other than wadding up and throwing at someone. I guess you could use it to help start a small fire or recycle! Yeah, recycle the directions. I ended up going to good on YouTube for my instructions. I had to use the installation video for a different year of Jetta to help me along. It went pretty smooth other than the heart attack you have when fishing a carriage bolt and spacer inside the frame rails. If you don't hold onto the end sticking out, it'll plop back inside the frame rails forever leaving you hopelessly looking at the hitch that could pull a sweet 4-wheeler up to your favorite trail head. Luckily, I was able to hold onto the bitty threads with the very tips of my fingers as I put the provided washer and nut on the bolt. All in all, I'm glad I ordered this part. CARiD did a great job on the delivery and the price was the cheapest I could find. I can't fault CARiD for the lame installation directions or the miniature heart attack that the bolt fishing causes. All I can say is good luck! And tow something cool with yours.

This hitch was offered at a great price and shipping was a snap. Installation was pretty easy, although it might have been easier with an extra set of hands. If installing alone, have a jack and maybe some clamps at the ready to support while aligning and marking holes to be drilled.
